I
recently requested to review this book from The Romance Reviews and had been
given the opportunity to do so. The following is my honest opinion of what I
read and what I’ve written has just been approved to be posted on their site.
If
the title I’ve given to my review sounds familiar it’s because it’s the title
of a song from the 1950’s by Nat King Cole. If you read the lyrics of his
version of the song you’ll get some idea of how Erik Anderson feels towards
Mina Castner.
Each
time I look at you is like the first time
Each
time you're near me, the thrill is new
And
there is nothing that I wouldn't do for
The
rare delight of the sight of you for…
The
more I see you, the more I want you
Somehow
this feeling just grows and grows
With
every sigh I become more mad about you
More
lost without you and so it goes
But
unfortunately this is a forbidden kind a love relationship, for you see he’s
the grim reaper and she’s only human. Erik knows his mere touch will cost Mina
her life. But her simply being in his sight has cost his years of being alone
to ignite his long suppress feelings towards the opposite sex and he’s brought
to her like a moth around the flame of a candle, which can become deadly if it
continues for too long.
Mina
sees past the cold façade Erik presents to everyone to the beauty and
gentleness he actually possesses. There’s a serious affection which exists
between these two, even without the holding of hands or the slightest gentle
kiss, an affection which grows the more they’re in each other’s company.
I
loved how Ms. Intyre ended her novella in an extremely sensual manner coupled
with an unsuspected happy ending, which is why I’m giving her endeavor here 5
STARS.
